ABOUT US

Shelter Bay Marina, at the Caribbean entrance to the Panama Canal, began operations in 2005. We are ideally placed to assist canal transits, also an excellent base for those wishing to enjoy the great local cruising and sport fishing opportunities. Adjoining the marina is the 14,000 acre San Lorenzo National Park, one of the premier birding locations in the world.

Panama is a sought after destination for yachtsmen and yachtswoman: just 70 miles from one of the true gems of the cruising world, the San Blas Islands. It certainly helps to be well south of the hurricane risk zone.

We can accommodate mega yachts to more than 320 feet with drafts up to 20 feet on well constructed and protected docks in clear waters. All vessels from the biggest to the 30 footers can take advantage of convenient side-tieswith plenty of maneuvering room. We are very well protected by the Panama canal breakwater and further protected by the cove we share with the Panamanian Coast Guard.

We have the services you would expect from a Marina catering to experienced sailors: modern electrical pedestals with both standard American and European outlets (60 hz). Solid Wi-Fi internet. 100 ton travel lift, an experienced maintenance team, a secure storage facility. A fine Restaurant, a Hotel to accommodate visitors (and those who wish to escape from their vessels while work progresses). Free bus service to the local mall just outside Colon. A Chandlery ready to listen to your needs and a mini market to attend to ‘no milk’ emergencies: a place to enjoy a morning coffee and croissant while waiting for the laundry cycle to finish.

The laundry staff ready to provide assistance. 24 hour Security is provided and we can attend arrivals both day and night up to 20.00. We can assist larger vessels if arriving later provided we have 2 days advance warning.

We are listening 24 hrs on VHF 74. The official entry approach to the marina will soon have a new set of channel buoys guiding you safely to the marina cove. Entry instructions provided by the marina are well illustrated and easy to follow.
